dc.description.abstractThe objective of this report is to summarize the morphologic history of four channels in the north-central Mississippi which lie within the Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic province. Each channel flows in a general east-to-west direction between latitude 33° 15' and 34°. Tillatoba, Pelucia, and Abiaca creeks originate in the Loess Bluffs subdivision of the physiographic province, and flow into the flat area known as the Yazoo Delta. Topashaw Creek is contained in the North-Central hills subdivision, flowing into Grenada Lake Reservoir. Soil erosion in the watershed and channel, and flooding due to both underfit and sediment-choked channels have been persistent problems since the beginning of European settlement of the watershed in the 1830's.
